This circuit of 72 miles, 24,000 feet and 47 peaks was devised and first completed
by Yiannis Tridimis in 1998. Based in southern Snowdonia, it provides a companion
to the more northerly Paddy Buckley Round as it weaves its way round the wild and
often formidable terrain of Cadair Idris, Rhinog, Migneint, Arenig, Aran and Dyfi
Forest. Like the PBR it may be commenced at any point and completed in either direction.
Similarly, although 24 hours is an obvious target, no time limit is stipulated but
it is considered to be a good half hour tougher. Completions should be registered
– see below.

The object of this website is to provide a single, ready source of information on the ultra-distance challenges which have been developed over the past three or more decades. It now offers a diverse range of long and "short", old and recent, formal and informal routes from around the UK to encourage runners of all ages and abilities to have a go.
